[alemrantareq]

Hi everybody, i want to check a file named "MyFile.txt" in windows directory before my application open. If that file exists, my app will run; otherwise it will exit showing a message. Can anybody tell me that script in simple? Thanks ...

hello everyone, i need to check a file exists or not on a server. I've tried several function & command but dont understand how to cook them properly. Can anyone teach me whats the exact command to check a server file existance?

The command will be - if the file exists, it will ask to download

I've found some examples in this forum; but all r ftp based, I mean to get a file I need to know username & pass. But I'm talking about downloading from a direct link. & the file is in rar format.

replies r most appreciated

Hi,

I wonder if my previous reply was useful?

Since this is a very old thread about a different subject, it is better to start a new thread.

Kind regards,

Hi,

Just download the file and check the result. I should be like this:

Code: Select all

put URL "http://ww.domain.xyz/filedoesntexist.zip" into myData
put the result into rslt
if rslt is not empty then
  beep
  answer error rslt
else
  // continue handling the data
end if

I still think it would have been better to start a completely new thread.

Kind regards,

Mark

tnx dear, I've checked the script; but it's not working. I mean it doesn't get the file existence. Well I'm creating a new thread.
